A New Goal

Forget the dreams of revolutionizing medical libraries, never mind the vision of fostering real collaboration and information sharing through the use of technology to deliver information at the point of need and make new connections between people and networks of information - i have a new goal. Bring the Tom Collins back to nyc. Have you had one? well, they are a Lovely summer cocktail. but it is shockingly difficult to find a bartender who knows how to make one. And - buy the mix so you can mix your own after work cocktail? Don't waste your time on the upper east side. 6 liquor stores and 4 grocery stores later - no mix. i know it's a simple drink - a little simple syrup, a little lemon juice, gin, club soda and a cherry if you're into garnishes. but really- at the end of the day, unscrewing the caps of 2 bottles is quite enough; the thought of squeezing a lemon over my most recent paper cut just lacks that after-work-drink appeal. Or maybe i can finagle a Cleaver thing, except this time June (that's me) goes out to work, and Ward has her made-from-scratch Tom Collins waiting with a smile when i get home from the office.
